Saying Goodbye To Our Holiday.

A warm welcome back, folks! For the record, no amount of fasting and prayers will erase the fact that we have lots of work to do. On that note, let’s get started!

I was up early again..

 Hubby was loading up his car↓

 Then we go for a walk before breakfast.

 We have the newspaper ready to read on the way home.

 We said goodbye to Simon and Rhona.

One last look of the front.

 

 After an hour and half of driving.

Time for a rest and a drink of coffee!

 I got some magazines to give me ideas on how to do up our house on a budget!

 Driving into the rain

 We arrive back home safely!

 We unpack car.

I enjoy a coffee and nibble before I go back to work↓ 

 I come back to see hubby had mowed the lawn.

 It looked so nice until I noticed some of the grass hadn't been cut near the garden table.

He then told me, he had cut through the cable to the mower.....

Good job the mower was plugged into safety plug!!!!

*Now on the look out for another lawn mower*

The boss of the scafforders came round to see if nothing was in the way so they can start putting up the scafford up tomorrow.

We had some nice tea.

Then round to see my dad.

We got back home after two hours.

It was so nice to get back in our own bed :)
